Authentic Discipleship

What speaks to people? Authenticity. Someone true to their ideals, character, and service. It’s one of the most powerful aspects of Christianity. This is the kind of impact Jesus calls us to have in Matthew 5:13-16, where he says we are the salt and light of the world. This aligns well with what we’ve discussed during April: reflecting God’s character. Today we will talk about our priority, namely, our willing participation in the transformation process that God works in us. This will require the greatest commitment— the giving of everything, even our very lives.
